OUR STORY

OUR MISSION, OUR BEERS & OUR CULTURES.

Asian Brothers Brewing Company – We are makers of Asian craft beers. We live to brew fine Asian Craft Beers in America. Sweet Asian style hops, hints of Mint, Honey, and Durian tell your taste buds that these are different and special.

Our mission at Asian Brothers Brewing Company is to tell the stories of a brotherhood that exists among a group of Asians who were displaced from their respective countries after the Vietnam-American war in 1975. This group of people are comprised of the Hmong, the Mien, the Lao, the Cambodian, Thai and the Vietnamese. Asian Brothers Brewing Company’s aim is to bring each of these cultures in the beer that we make. You see, all of us share a common ground: our fate in history. If it wasn’t for the Vietnam-American war, we wouldn’t be here today to bring you delicious beer and to share our stories with you. When the war officially ended on April 30th, 1975, many of us found ourselves without a country. After fleeing this war, our people ended up all over the world, and we are fortunate that many of us have settled here, in California.

Now that some of our children have been born and raised here, we want to keep this history and our legacies alive in the beer that we brew. To each beer we make, we dedicate a meaningful name and a specific historical account of our brotherhood that is worth remembering and sharing.

We hope that one day, when our kids are going to drink beer like we do: we want them to lift our beers, smell the tropical fragrances, taste the sweet notes of our native lands, and read the stories behind each beer. We want all our beer drinkers to experience the journey that brought our families here today and remember our people’s tragedy and heroism. Let’s toast to this as we continue to embrace and support each other.

The Birth of A Brotherhood

I am Michael Le, my wife is Dara, and we are owners of Asian Brothers Brewing Company. We are so grateful to be here today as the first South East Asian craft brewing company in the United States to craft Hmong, Lao, Mien, Cambodian, Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese Beers. We thank you and may God and Buddha continue to bless all of us.


April 30, 1975 marked the end of the Vietnam-American war. It was a shitty day for many of us, the Hmong, Mien, Laos, Cambodian and Vietnamese, who had to flee our native lands in search of freedom from tyranny. It was a sad day in our history, for on this day, we became a people without a country. This is our brotherhood.

As people without a country, we began a great journey. Some of us could not escape and find freedom until 1986. Many of us are still imprisoned to this day. But nevertheless, the journey began, and in time and across borders we now find ourselves all over the world. From Antarctica to the dessert plains of Africa, to the Amazon of South America, to the great nations like China, Russia, Great Britain, and The United States, we have found refuge, we have adapted, and found new homes.

Because of this shitty war, we are now all over the world, and today, as we have integrated into our new lands to build our new homes and families, many of us have greatly contributed to the nations that have granted us refuge. Sure, there are bad apples among us, but this number is miniscule to the tremendous contribution of the many. We will continue to strive to make the world a better place for all.

At Asian Brothers Brewing Company, we want to salute every one of you who have been on this journey with us. We also want to say thank you, as we are grateful to the people from different lands who have come to our assistance and those who offered us refuge many years ago. As brewers, we will continue to work hard to bring our native tastes and aromas into our beer. We will continue to tell stories of our journey, so that everyone drinking our beers will see us as who we are, our cultures and our values, and that our kids and the next generation who comes after us may remember their roots. History must not be forgotten. We will continue to print stories of our journey on every beer label. We also must learn from our history – our struggles and achievements will equip us to forge a better future for our kids. Let’s raise our beers and toast to a compassionate life for everyone. God bless and Cheers to the world.

How Far Will I Go?

Sometimes I ask myself how far I would go? Then I hear a voice telling me: "Go tell your stories and sell your beers. Go until you all your stories are told and you got no beer left to sell. Then make more beers and repeat the process! Go share the tastes of your native lands. Let the beers do the talking to preserve your cultures and heritage."
